Improvizations

Meet Zulf Ansari, our Principal WFM & IC Consultant at Improvizations! ? With 30+ years of experience in Workforce Management. His superpower? ?? Deep technical expertise across UKG solutions and a laser focus on delivering seamless, efficient workforce transformations. Why Improvizations? “The merger of The FASE Group and Improvizations was a perfect fit—I jumped at the opportunity without hesitation, and I couldn’t be prouder.” His advice for better UKG implementations: Clients should complete their product training before the Solution Design Workshop; it makes the entire process smoother. When he’s not optimizing WFM solutions, Zulf is all about family time: cooking, dining out, and watching Naruto and Harry Potter with his kids. ? Join us in celebrating Zulf’s journey and expertise! ??

Ever been in the middle of a project and realized you don’t have the documentation you need? Yeah… it happens. One of our healthcare clients learned this the hard way: "Don’t underestimate the amount of time required to prepare user guides." During their UKG Talent Management, Recruiting, Benefits, Payroll & Financials implementation, they realized that getting the system live was just one part of the puzzle. Making sure teams actually knew how to use it? Equally important. The takeaway? ? Document processes as you go ? Make sure guides are clear and usable (not just pages of jargon!) ? Think beyond go-live—training matters before things get urgent Has anyone else been caught off guard by documentation needs during an implementation? Let’s commiserate. ??

VR Training in Healthcare? By 2026, Virtual Reality (VR) training will be standard in hospitals. Imagine this: A clinician walks into their first high-risk procedure?not just with textbook knowledge but after practicing in a VR simulation that mimics the real thing. That’s the future of clinical training. ? Safer practice—train for complex procedures without patient risk. ? More confidence—better preparation = better care. ? Higher engagement—let’s be honest, it beats reading a 50-page manual. And hospitals are paying attention—77% are already looking into VR-based training. But tech alone isn’t enough. To really work, VR needs: ?? Seamless integration into existing training workflows. ?? Change management—getting clinicians on board. ?? Data tracking—because if you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. So, let’s hear it—would you trust a clinician trained in VR? Or is hands-on training still the gold standard?

In consulting, you know someone is really good at what they do when a client specifically requests them for a second project. "Zulf Ansari was great at figuring out how to do what we needed. He was very helpful, professional, and responsive—easy to get in touch with!" One of our clients in manufacturing needed help navigating complex employment standards in Ontario, Canada. They were working with a system designed mainly for U.S. businesses, and it wasn’t a simple plug-and-play situation. Instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach, Zulf worked with them to customize a solution that actually worked, and they asked for him again for a second phase. Good consultants don’t just execute a plan. They adapt, problem-solve, and make life easier. ?? Great Work, Zulf Ansari! If you’ve worked with a consultant who’s gone above and beyond, tag them below and give them a shout-out! ?? Curious about what clients say about Improvizations?

?? AI is Taking Over Workforce Management, but That’s Actually a Good Thing By 2026, AI will be handling 75% of Workforce and Human Capital Management (WFM & HCM) configurations. ? Compliance checks? Automated. No more last-minute fire drills. ? Shift scheduling? Smarter and faster. Say goodbye to guesswork. ? Admin work? Minimized. More time for actual patient care. But here’s the catch, AI isn’t a magic fix. If your workforce management setup is a mess, AI won’t clean it up and it’ll just automate the chaos. The companies winning at AI? They’re: ?? Cleaning up outdated processes before automating. ?? Building flexible systems that grow with regulations. ?? Investing in ongoing support to make sure automation works for them—not against them. ?? How do you see AI changing workforce management? Let’s chat in the comments. ?? Click to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eSmgQVFy

The clinician shortage is coming ?? By 2025, the U.S. will face a six-figure shortage of nurses, physicians, and other critical clinical roles. Why? ?? Burnout is pushing experienced professionals out of patient care. ?? Remote/admin roles are offering better work-life balance. ?? Many organizations are stuck in reactive planning instead of thinking long-term. If this keeps up, we’ll see major federal intervention like education incentives, policy shifts, and funding to stop the situation. But here’s the thing: The best-prepared organizations are already making changes: ? Smarter scheduling ? Better forecasting ? Proactive adaptation The real question: What’s your plan for tackling the staffing crisis? Drop your thoughts in the comments. ?? Click to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eSmgQVFy
